keydown keyup

[dexto]

Looked up values for DLL call and all seemed to be fine.. but its not working :S

$user32 = DllOpen("user32")

Func keydown($bvkCode, $user32dll = 'user32.dll')
    DllCall($user32dll, 'int', 'keybd_event', 'byte', $bvkCode, 'byte', 0, 'uint', 0, 'ptr', 0)
EndFunc  ;==>keydown

Func keyup($bvkCode, $user32dll = 'user32.dll')
    DllCall($user32dll, 'int', 'keybd_event', 'byte', $bvkCode, 'byte', 0, 'uint', 2, 'ptr', 0)
EndFunc  ;==>keyup

send('"')
keydown(hex(Asc('o')),$user32)
Sleep(100)
keyup(hex(Asc('o')),$user32)
send('"')

DllClose($user32)

The 'keybd_event' function wants a virtual key starting with 0x

In virtual key code: hex(Asc('o')) = 00000006F = Divide key (Forward slash)

If your trying to send the letter o then try:

'0x' & hex(Asc('O'), 2)

If your trying to send the / then try:

'0x' & hex(Asc('o'), 2)

Edit:

To be truthfull I can't see why you'd use the outdated 'keybd_event' function..

AutoIt's own native send() function works well and is more then capable to do the same thing as 3 lines of code while only using 2 lines of code. It also offers some easy to use timing options instead of sleep()

opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 100)
Send('o')

If your going to use an api call you may as well use the newer call 'SendInput' function.

Thank you, that fixed it!

The reason I need keydown/up is because my script has heavy user interaction, together with InputDisable() _isPressed(). I have to restore the keys pressed before user input was disabled.
